00:01 Hola, bienvenidos.
00:02 Wait a minute, this isn't 3ABN Latino, 00:05 this is 3ABN's Dare to Dream Network. 00:07 My name is Jason Bradley, 00:09 and you are watching Urban Report. 00:34 Hello and welcome to Urban Report. 00:36 My guests today are John and Idalia Dinzey. 00:39 John is the general manger of 3ABN Latino, 00:42 and his lovely wife is the administrative assistant 00:45 for the network. 00:46 Welcome to Urban Report. 00:48 Well, thank you. 00:49 Thank you, it's a blessing to be here. 00:51 It's great to have you here. Thank you. 00:52 Thank you for the invitation, Jason. 00:54 Well, this is the first time 00:56 you've ever been on Urban Report. 00:58 That is right. 00:59 That's right. 01:01 We've been trying to get you, but you know, 01:02 things keep coming up. 01:04 I want our viewers to find out a little bit about you. 01:07 You've been here for longer than I have been here and so... 01:12 What brought you to 3ABN? 01:15 Well, the short answer is the Lord. 01:16 Ah, because umm, 01:19 I had heard of 3ABN but I didn't have any idea 01:23 that the Lord would bring me here 01:24 and it all started with a letter. 01:27 Mm-hmm, it started with a letter. 01:28 What did the letter say? 01:31 Well, I was in Germany. Okay. 01:33 I was actually in the army. 01:35 And I received a letter from Gonzales Santos, 01:38 3ABN's first employee. 01:40 And he said, 01:41 "I don't know where you getting out, 01:42 but I would like for you to consider the possibility 01:45 of you coming to work at 3ABN." 01:47 Okay. 01:49 Now you see that's very interesting 01:50 because I had told the Lord, 01:52 please Lord let me know what You want me to do 01:55 when there's one year left for me to be in the army. 01:59 And so when that letter came, he says, 02:02 "What do you mean, no?" 02:04 I'm supposed to go to the university 02:07 and study to be a pastor and do these other things. 02:10 And so, I looked at the calendar and I said, 02:12 wait a minute, it is one year 02:15 and so I said well, maybe it seems like 02:17 the Lord wants me to go to 3ABN and explore this. 02:20 So that's how we started. Wow. 02:22 And how did you end up here? 02:25 How did I end up here, that is a long, long story. 02:30 But to make it short, 02:32 I met John Dinzey 02:33 in South Chicago Hispanic Seventh-day Adventist Church. 02:36 Okay. 02:37 When he went to visit his father, 02:40 and I was invited to participate. 02:44 Back then I used to sing and do concerts and all. 02:47 So they invited me to sing that Sabbath. 02:51 So when I approached the church, 02:53 and I was trying to get into building, 02:56 he distracted me. 02:58 He interrupted my plans. 03:00 Okay. 03:02 Well, it seems like it was a good interruption 03:04 'cause here you're since married to him 03:06 we know for years. 03:08 Well, the Lord has His plans that we don't know about them 03:11 until they start to unfold. 03:14 And you see when I saw her 03:16 she was carrying this big heavy case. 03:20 And so I offered to help. 03:21 Nice. 03:23 Several reasons to not do it. 03:25 Good. Good. 03:27 So, okay, so you got the letter 03:29 and you ended up... 03:30 Where you met? 03:31 I met him at that church but, you know... 03:36 I have to say this if I may? 03:38 Sorry to interrupt you, honey. 03:39 But the night before 03:42 I was praying to the Lord and I said, 03:44 "Lord, I don't know if you have someone for me." 03:48 I think I was like 29. 03:50 I'm 29 years old, 03:52 I'm just wondering if you have somebody for me. 03:55 If there is someone that you have for me, 03:57 please let me know. 03:58 If it's somebody that I know and I haven't noticed her, 04:01 please let me know. 04:02 But if somebody I'm gonna meet in the future, let me know. 04:04 But if you have no one for me, let me know also, 04:06 because I don't want to be in expectation 04:08 that You have someone for me 04:09 and then there is nobody for me. 04:11 I said, "I'm willing to be single 04:12 if that's what You want me to do, 04:13 but like You gave Paul, give me grace to stand. 04:17 The next day I met her. 04:19 But that Friday night, I was cancelling everything, 04:22 I was like mom you know what... 04:25 Because it was a step uncle of mine 04:27 that invited me to go down and sing. 04:28 Okay. 04:30 And so, I said, when you people get together, 04:32 you talk about many years ago and whatever ago, 04:36 and this happens a lot in the families, 04:38 with the family gatherings, 04:40 where friends getting together and the kids are sitting aside 04:43 not having anything to do with the conversation, 04:45 because we didn't know John Doe. 04:47 But there, you know, carrying on 04:49 with so many beautiful, funny or crazy memories. 04:53 Yes. And I said, I'm gonna... 04:54 I'm gonna be not even like a fly on the wall, 04:56 because at least the fly gets attention. 04:58 Somebody wants to smash it right 05:00 or get it out of the house. 05:02 And I said, you know what? 05:04 I'm not for attention, 05:05 but I wanted to be included, you know. 05:08 So I said, "Mom, it's best for me not to go." 05:11 And she said this, 05:13 "I promise you that as soon as you are ready to come home, 05:18 we will come back home." 05:19 We are talking about an hour and a half distance 05:23 and when my mother said that, I'm like, "Are you serious? 05:26 I mean, are you okay? 05:28 Are you feeling ill?" 05:29 But she meant it. 05:32 So that's what why I went in the next day, 05:36 so I was ready to just stay home 05:38 or go to my local church, but we met there. 05:41 Okay. 05:43 Do you mind, if I tell you what I thought when I saw her? 05:46 No, what did you think? 05:48 I said. 05:49 Don't ask me, what I thought when I saw him? 05:52 I said, "This is a beautiful girl." 05:55 And then, "I said, no, no, no. 05:56 I lived about five hours away, she is a visitor 06:00 and I probably never see her again." 06:03 So it was like, 06:04 I need to put her out of my mind, 06:06 because she is a visitor 06:07 and I would probably never see her again. 06:09 She went to the church where I grew up in. 06:13 My father was still attending there, 06:15 and I will go and see him once a month. 06:17 So I knew the people that were there. 06:19 When I saw her, 06:20 she seemed to be a visitor 06:22 'cause I had never seen her before 06:23 and she is just passing through, 06:24 I'll never see her again. 06:26 Plus I live over five hours away. 06:27 Yeah, yeah. 06:29 So it was a little long distance 06:30 type of relationship there 06:33 that was about to start. 06:34 Yes, yes. 06:36 Okay. 06:37 So were you guys always in the church 06:40 or were you ever out of the church? 06:44 Ladies first. 06:46 Well, mother... 06:48 I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, 06:50 and my mother was seeking for truth. 06:54 She got involved in studying 06:57 with different denominations, 07:01 attending different churches and all. 07:03 But when I was little, 07:05 she became a Seventh-day Adventist. 07:08 I loved the church life 07:11 when I was a young girl, adolescent. 07:14 It was really fun 07:15 because in our country, you know, in Puerto Rico, 07:19 we have pathfinders, 07:20 like there is then here in the States 07:22 and also, we have a lot of youth activities 07:25 door-to-door and we loved all that. 07:28 So eventually I came through the years, when I said, 07:32 you know, I'm driving, I'm old enough to do my... 07:37 Whatever I wanna do and I would say, 07:39 "Mom, I'm gonna go to this church 07:40 instead of going..." 07:42 And I wouldn't go to that church, 07:43 I would probably go to another activity 07:45 that was not Sabbath related. 07:47 So I had my years of rebellion to say the least. 07:53 Okay. 07:55 And what about you? 07:57 From the earliest memory, 07:59 I used to go to church 08:01 and practically all my life 08:04 I never really took a detour. 08:07 I call it, never took a detour, always stayed in the church. 08:10 Praise the Lord. 08:11 I would like to transition a little bit 08:13 into how 3ABN Latino got started. 08:18 How did that take place? 08:20 Well, it was a long process. 08:24 It started when I was single, the idea, 08:26 because I will try to go through this quickly 08:28 because of limited time. 08:31 When I arrived at 3ABN in 1989. 08:34 I came to 3ABN and not knowing 08:37 that 3ABN was broadcasting 08:40 one and half hours of Spanish programming 08:43 every single day, seven days a week 08:45 from 4:30 or from 4, 08:47 yeah, from 4:30 to 6. 08:51 Every day, about three months later 08:53 it went down from seven days to five days. 08:56 Now I took a notice of this and I... 09:00 Oh man, they went down to five days, 09:02 that's okay, we still have five. 09:04 Now thanks to the Lord working through Gonzales Santos 09:08 that's where the programming came 09:09 'cause I had no idea where it had come from. 09:12 So that was '99 year already, 09:16 about 1991... 09:20 No, it was 1992, 1992, 09:23 I was in Puerto Rico because 3ABN had purchased 09:26 a television station in San Juan, Puerto Rico. 09:28 Okay. 09:30 Puerto Rico, they speak some English, 09:31 but mainly Spanish. 09:33 So the idea was, 3ABN was partnering 09:36 with the East Puerto Rico Conference 09:37 of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 09:39 and we were helping them to build this studio, 09:42 so we can produce Spanish programs there. 09:45 While I was there for several months, 09:47 I received the program guide and now I noticed 09:49 that we went from five days to three days. 09:52 Wow. That's 1992. 09:53 So it was going... 09:55 It was going down. 09:56 Back and back. 09:57 So I called and I spoke to Bobby Davis. 09:59 You know Bobby Davis? 10:01 And he was the program director at that time. 10:03 Okay. 10:04 And I said, "Bobby, what's going on?" 10:07 Now, there are two less days of Spanish programming 10:08 and we need more. 10:11 And he said, "Well, that was not my decision. 10:12 You have to talk to administration." 10:14 Yes. 10:15 I said, "Well, I would like to talk to them about that 10:17 because we need more Spanish programming not less." 10:19 "I wish you would," he said. 10:21 So when the phone call ended, 10:24 there was a question that came to my mind. 10:27 The question was this, 10:29 are we going to need a Spanish channel? 10:33 I thought about that for a few minutes, 10:34 then forgot it, 10:36 but planned to talk to administration 10:38 as soon as I get back. 10:39 About two months later, 10:40 I spoke to administration and I was told, well... 10:44 And I made my little preparation, 10:46 you know, I'm gonna pitch my idea 10:49 that we need more Spanish programming 10:50 and I was told, well, 10:52 this is an English speaking language channel 10:55 and when we put on Spanish programming 10:57 we lose 95% of our viewers and you know what? 11:03 That hurt me. 11:04 I said wow! 11:05 95% of the people either turn off the TV 11:09 or go to other channel. 11:11 And that was... 11:12 I didn't want that to happen. Yes. 11:14 And so then I was told 11:16 perhaps we can do an evangelistic campaign 11:19 for the Spanish people something to... 11:21 We still want to minister to them. 11:23 And so when the meeting was over, 11:26 I stepped out of the meeting with the idea go... 11:29 You know what I was told go... 11:30 See if we can do a Spanish evangelistic campaign. 11:32 But remember I had a question before, 11:36 are we going to need a Spanish channel? 11:37 Yeah. 11:39 When I walked out of the meeting, 11:40 there wasn't a question anymore. 11:42 That thought came to my mind, 11:43 we are going to need a Spanish channel, 11:46 that was 1992. 11:48 I told you it was a process. 11:49 Yes, yes. 11:51 So afterwards, I got married and things... 11:54 What year was that, Mr. Dinzey? 11:56 1994. 11:57 Oh, okay. 11:58 Oh, boy, make sure you get that right. 12:00 May 15, 1994. 12:02 That's right. 12:03 We are praising the Lord, 12:04 we have about 25 years of marriage. 12:06 Wow! 12:07 But anyway cutting the story short, 12:11 it was the year 2000 12:13 when I presented the idea to Danny Shelton. 12:15 Okay. 12:17 That I shared the idea, this with a few people, 12:20 now it would trigger this coming out, 12:24 there were several years of, Lord, what do we do? 12:25 How do we go about this? 12:27 Is it enough that I see that there's a need for this 12:30 and I didn't know how to go about it. 12:32 I, you know, I'm wondering, Lord, how do we do this thing? 12:34 And I didn't really see 3ABN heading in that direction, 12:37 so I'm wondering if 3ABN would be the vehicle 12:40 through which the Lord will have a Spanish channel. 12:42 Even thought, I asked myself, 12:44 Lord, do I need to leave 3ABN to start a Spanish channel? 12:46 I was willing to do what the Lord wanted me to do, 12:49 but it was Danny at a new... 12:51 You been the very first day, 12:53 you came to 3ABN, what day it was? 12:54 Prayer meeting. 12:55 It was the day of prayer. Oh, the day of prayer. 12:57 The day of prayer, So on a day of prayer, 12:59 Danny said something that just caught me 13:03 and he said, "If you have something 13:07 that the Lord has put in your heart 13:08 to do for the Lord in ministry, 13:12 come and talk to me. 13:14 And I learned a few things rather through years, 13:17 I may be able to help you." 13:19 Danny doesn't remember saying that. 13:20 Wow! 13:22 But I said, if the Lord spoke through him to me 13:25 and I said I'll do it, I will come and talk to you. 13:29 So I decided to prepare myself and figure out 13:31 how many Spanish people are there in the US. 13:33 Census was coming out 13:35 and the US was shocked 13:40 that there were so many Spanish people in the US. 13:41 It was gonna pass the African-American community 13:47 as far as a minority. 13:48 Wow! 13:49 And so I start to say, well, this is gonna be on satellite, 13:52 so it's gonna reach other countries. 13:54 So I started looking into other countries, 13:56 and I'm talking to my wife during all this process 13:58 and you know, 14:00 the population in the US is gonna be, 14:02 you know, close to 40 million by the year 2025 14:05 and, you know, things like that I was sharing with her. 14:07 Did you know that the US 14:09 is like the second country in the world 14:10 that has Spanish people? 14:12 I thought, you know, sharing information. 14:14 And so, I start looking into other countries 14:16 and I learned that Spanish 14:20 is the second language in the world 14:22 as far as first speakers as people 14:26 that speak it as their first language. 14:27 Native tongue. Native tongue. 14:29 And I say, I had no idea 14:31 and so there are different... 14:35 There's different data when you talk about 14:37 a second language, English is number two. 14:40 Now you might be wondering, who is number one? 14:42 Who is number one? 14:44 Yeah, who is number one? 14:45 The Chinese. 14:46 Really? Okay. 14:48 Because the Chinese have mandarin, 14:49 they have like over 800 million people. 14:51 Yes. 14:53 You see, the Spanish people at that time 14:54 I started researching was about 335 million. 14:59 So English was the third language 15:00 as far as number of speakers. 15:02 Okay. 15:03 But when you talk about second language 15:04 and first language speakers, English is number two. 15:06 So you recognized the need for 3ABN Latino, 15:12 you needed a channel that was or a network 15:15 that was going to be in Spanish. 15:17 Yes. 15:19 And so, and there were a lot of Hispanics... 15:23 Yes, yes. 15:25 That needed to be reached with the gospel. 15:27 Now, one of the point is this, Jason, 15:28 because Spanish people 15:32 for many years they have the dubbing, you see, 15:36 but what I learned from at 3ABN 15:40 being a part of NET '95, NET '96, 15:44 NET '98, NET '99 is that Spanish people 15:49 prefer to hear their own people speak in their own language. 15:52 You see at NET '95 we have Mark Finley 15:54 preaching in English and the translation, 15:56 NET '96 Mark Finley English and a Spanish translation. 16:00 And the translation sometimes you lose a little bit. 16:03 Yeah. 16:04 And so the people were saying, 16:06 when the Spanish people got together and made NET '99, 16:10 there was no NET '99 in English, 16:13 we had a Spanish NET '99. 16:15 Right. 16:16 3ABN helped or worked with the North America division. 16:21 Our truck went to Orlando, Florida, 16:23 Idalia remembers very well, 16:25 and the amount of people calling, 16:29 the amount of people that were baptized 16:30 went through the roof. 16:32 Wow! 16:34 And it was a tremendous blessing. 16:36 Historical. 16:37 Historical, 16:39 tremendous testimonies came out, 16:41 so it wasn't that we needed 3ABN English 16:44 and then a dubbing, while we do that. 16:47 Or close captioning. 16:48 Or close captioning. 16:50 Now we do some of that, 16:51 but the majority had to be Spanish language programming 16:55 by Spanish speaking people. 16:56 Yes, yes. 16:58 So, you guys travel a lot, right? 17:02 So where are some of the places that you have been? 17:04 And what are some testimonies of some people 17:08 whose lives have been touched by the ministry of 3ABN? 17:11 Now, let me say real quick 17:12 and try to say in less than a minute. 17:14 The Lord blessed for 3ABN Latino to be launched 17:17 in the year 2003. 17:18 Okay. 17:20 And the Lord just blessed tremendously. 17:23 So we have been able to travel 17:25 to many different countries almost. 17:27 Well, there are few Spanish countries 17:28 we have not been to... 17:30 Okay. 17:31 But there are wonderful testimonies 17:32 and maybe Idalia can start us off 17:34 with the testimonies. 17:35 Yes. 17:36 My mind is flooded. 17:40 But for the honor and glory to the Lord, 17:43 the labor that we do here at 3ABN, 17:48 our staff is mainly non-bilingual. 17:51 Non-bilingual as far as Spanish and English, 17:55 we also have 3ABN French 17:57 but our staff is mainly just English speaking. 18:00 So we work in the team with all the cameramen 18:05 and the directors that don't speak the language, 18:09 but we have someone translating in the control rooms, 18:12 you know, for the director. 18:14 As we share and air the programs 18:18 sometimes the camera is cold, 18:20 you know the room is lonely and all. 18:22 But it's not until you receive those letters, 18:25 phone calls, you know, or messages, 18:27 there you feel like wow, they are really listening. 18:31 One of the most memorable moments... 18:33 that I have We went to a country 18:38 and we had done a topic on family issues, 18:42 how to resolve conflict 18:44 between husband and wife in families? 18:48 And it was interesting to me that this family 18:51 of three children mother and father, 18:53 the little boy says, 18:55 "I know what your husband does to you 18:56 and you don't like it." 18:58 Wow! 19:00 And I'm like, you do? 19:01 I mean this was just adults, you know, in the program... 19:05 And he knew exactly what it was, 19:08 so I was surprised 19:09 that even children watch the programming. 19:12 Whether it's a children program,... 19:14 you know, with for their age group 19:18 or for adults. 19:20 All that to say that sometimes we think 19:23 that our kids are not listening but they really are. 19:26 And they are very honest. 19:27 Yes, they are. 19:28 Kids are pretty honest. 19:30 So we've talked to parents 19:31 who leave the television on all night long, 19:34 because their kids are out there 19:36 drinking, doing drugs, partying 19:39 and they are praying that 19:41 something would attract them, 19:44 something would catch their attention. 19:47 And this was so in a couple of young men, 19:51 but in particular I would like to tell you 19:53 about this young man in Colombia, 19:56 who was raped... 19:59 He was... 20:01 He would rape young girls or he would... 20:04 He is a gang member, he would fight, he would... 20:07 Everybody was afraid of him, everybody, 20:09 so when his mother called, she said, 20:13 He's a change man 20:15 because of the youth program day you had on." 20:17 Wow! 20:19 He is studying to be a pastor now. 20:20 Wow! 20:21 So you know, when you think about these things to say, 20:25 that's a good idea, 20:26 he'd never thought of leaving the television on. 20:29 Of course I don't have that need, 20:30 praise the Lord, 20:32 to have to have my children 20:34 come in the middle of the morning or night 20:37 drugged and or drunk. 20:39 I see he was drugged lying on a couch, 20:42 you think they are not listening, 20:44 he sure was. 20:45 So for the glory of God, he is a pastor now. 20:50 Wow! 20:51 What kind of programs can someone expects 20:54 to see on 3ABN Latino? 20:56 If you are familiar with Dare to Dream 3ABN, 21:01 we have the same variety of programming, 21:04 we have health programs, we have exercise programs, 21:07 we have children's programs, we have music, 21:10 we have evangelistic campaigns, 21:12 we have marriage seminars 21:13 as Idalia was talking about and... 21:16 Stop smoking. 21:17 Stop smoking programs. Nice. 21:20 And all of them work together to help people 21:25 get better health, learn about the Lord, 21:27 draw families together and prepare 21:30 for the second coming of Jesus Christ. 21:31 The programming that is giving people hope 21:34 and helping people get out of drugs, 21:37 I mean there are stories in each, every one of these. 21:40 What about that taxi driver that young people 21:45 were talking about 3ABN in the car? 21:47 Oh, yes. 21:48 There was a taxi driver and it's interesting 21:50 because these people were talking in Portuguese 21:54 and since he didn't understand Portuguese, 21:56 he thought they were Americans. 21:58 And so they are talking 22:01 and the only world he caught was the word Adventist 22:06 because it sounds very close to Adventista. 22:08 Yes. 22:10 And he turned around, 22:11 he actually put the brakes on in the car 22:15 and they are like, 22:17 are you guys Seventh-day Adventists? 22:19 And then they said, "Yes, we are." 22:23 Like why did you stop the car? 22:24 Yeah, yeah. 22:26 He had been watching 3ABN Latino, 22:28 he showed Idalia and me notes that he had taken... 22:33 Yes, notebooks. I mean two notebooks... 22:35 Thick notebooks. 22:36 With pictures, graphic of... 22:39 All the sermons. 22:40 Sermons. 22:41 He had been watching, his life was transformed, 22:44 he used to mistreat his family. 22:46 And it was... 22:48 He was a totally transformed man. 22:50 He would take his daughter to the night life, 22:52 you know, just partying and nothing. 22:55 Just to get his wife upset. 22:57 Yeah, so he has like... 23:01 If I remember correctly there were five girls. 23:03 Five girls. Five daughters. 23:05 And two boys. 23:06 The husband and wife 23:07 and he shared with us what he used to do. 23:13 But once he learned of Christ through 3ABN Latino, 23:17 his life turned around. 23:18 And the Lord blessed us with the opportunity 23:20 of meeting this family. 23:21 Wow! 23:23 So it was humbling, 23:24 it is humbling to see how the Lord transforms 23:27 the lives of those people who have been in such a, 23:31 the wrong path and they said choose... 23:35 I have chosen this day who I will serve 23:37 as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 23:40 So it's a... 23:43 It's humbling really, it is. 23:44 Yeah. 23:46 Absolutely. 23:47 Wow, to know that, you know, 23:49 that God is using you to reach so many people 23:54 for His honor and His glory 23:56 is definitely a humbling experience, 23:58 definitely a humbling experience. 24:00 Well, we continue with the guys... 24:03 Well, we went to a prison. 24:06 We have gone to hospitals, we have gone to orphanages, 24:08 we have gone to prisons 24:10 and whenever we are abroad outside of the US 24:14 and it's funny how the systems 24:16 are very indifferent in countries. 24:19 But we went to visit a young man 24:24 that was in prison. 24:25 Do you remember it, the one in? 24:27 Mexico? Yes. 24:29 Yes, we remember the guy in Mexico and we were doing... 24:33 We were invited to do an evangelistic campaign there. 24:35 Okay. 24:36 And he was out inviting people 24:38 and he was also trying to saving money to buy a car 24:44 and the people that sold a car to him cheated him 24:49 and gave him a car that was stolen. 24:51 So that's how he wound up in prison. 24:53 Wow! 24:54 So he was very sad 24:57 because he was going to miss the evangelistic campaign. 25:00 And they told us about him and we asked, "Where is he? 25:04 We would like to go see him." 25:06 You're willing to go see him and we said, "Sure." 25:09 Oh, they were very happy 25:11 and when he saw us there, he was... 25:13 He didn't expect us, he was so happy, he cried, 25:16 I mean there were like 22 people coming to see him. 25:19 Now this... 25:20 We had never been to a prison in Mexico, 25:24 we have been to prisons in the US visiting people, 25:26 you know, where you going to this room 25:28 and there like a cafeteria area, 25:29 you sit in chairs, 25:31 but this is like you walk into the building, 25:32 they check you in 25:34 and then you walk out of a building 25:35 and it's like you are in a yard. 25:38 Okay, yeah. 25:40 And then you can go to wherever there 25:43 and all around you are people that are in prison. 25:46 Yes. 25:47 Okay, I wanted you to share that 25:49 because one of the main points in the story is that 25:53 3ABN is the tool in the hands of the Lord. 25:57 But the personal ministry, 26:00 every member of the church 26:01 has the responsibility to hug that person, 26:05 to you know, visit that person in prison. 26:07 Yeah. 26:09 Share the love of Christ, 26:10 even in uncomfortable situations. 26:12 That's right.
